January:

In November, 2018, the SCC partnered with the Plainsview Credit Union and donated $500 towards buying level appropriate books to support classroom libraries as well as for the Reading Intervention Program. Initiated by the school, parent volunteers go to the school and read with students who benefit from extra reading practice in Grades 1-6. There are 30 students in this program and 10 parents who have volunteered as well as educational assistants, past and present, and high school students. The goal is for all 30 students to read and gain confidence each day. Kelly Bruekner Procyk has scripted the direction of this program and provides a brief training to develop consistency with readers. The volunteer and student work together for 20 minutes and then another student has the opportunity to participate. The students are truly wonderful to work with. There is no rigid schedule, so if know you are able to help out for a couple of hours the next morning or in the afternoon, or maybe all day, just give Kelly a text and she will make the arrangements. Let her know the day before when you will be coming and how long you can stay for. We can't say enough about this program. It is so important for every child to feel confident in early years reading as this has a positive affect through their middle and senior year learning. If you are interested in helping out, contact the school and talk to Jill Young Lee, Principal, or Kelly Bruekner Procyk, Learning Support.

SCC members worked in the library over two lunches to help sell books during the Scholastic Book Fair. Thank you Angela Englot for your help with this.

Tree Planting Day – the SCC
together with the teachers and students, planted 100 trees on the school
playground on October 16. Thank you’s and more details yet to come.

SCC members and parents read to elementary students at
morning recess during Tree Planting day as the holes were being dug with
equipment. The books are about children in other countries who don’t have
the same educational advantages as children in Canada. For example
“Waiting for the Biblioburro” is about a traveling library for children, “Rain
School” where the children help build the school each year, etc. During
the reading the TD Trees had supplied apples for a snack. Thank you Laura
Davidson Schnell, Christalee Froese and Cyndi Giroux for
helping us with this.

Raise a Reader: Two ways to "Raise a Reader" are to read to your children daily and use local libraries.

​​UnityBy Cleo V. Swarat

I dreamed I stood in a studio and watched two sculptors there. The clay they used was a young child's mind and they fashioned it with care.

One was a teacher; the tools she used were books and music and art. One was a parent, with a guiding hand and gentle loving heart.

And when at last their work was done, they were proud of what they had wrought. For the things they had worked into the child, could never be sold or bought!

And each agreed she would have failed if she had worked alone. For behind the parent stood the school, and behind the teacher stood the home!
